What is matugenfox?

MatugenFox is a Firefox browser extension that connects your system's color theme to every website you visit, updating them in real time without needing to reload any pages. It is built for people who use Matugen, a tool that generates color palettes from your desktop wallpaper. Whenever you change your wallpaper and Matugen generates a fresh set of colors, MatugenFox picks those up instantly and applies them across all your open browser tabs at once. The extension works through two pieces: the Firefox extension itself and a small Python based Native Host that runs on your computer. The Native Host watches your color files on disk and passes updates to the browser. This design means your custom color presets and settings survive browser restarts, since they are stored on your hard drive rather than only in the browser's memory. Beyond automatic color injection, MatugenFox includes a command palette, opened with a keyboard shortcut, for quickly switching between saved color presets or managing settings. You can also write custom style rules per website, so specific sites can be tweaked individually if the automatic colors do not look right. An Eco Mode pauses color updates for background tabs to save battery life, and a Naked Mode skips animations for the fastest possible updates. A blocklist lets you turn off theming on sites where the color changes break the layout. You would use MatugenFox if you already use Matugen for system wide theming and want your Firefox browsing to match your desktop colors automatically. It is written primarily in CSS, with the native bridge component written in Python. It is available from the Firefox Add-ons store and released under the MIT license.
